54 Days Ago He Vanished Off The MSU Campus And Volunteer Paddlers Recently Searched The Red Cedar River Without Any Sign Of Him
East Lansing, Michigan. Brendan Santo is a freshman at Grand Valley State University, and on the evening of October 29th, he was over at Michigan State University visiting some of his friends.
It was a Friday night, and right before midnight, Brendan disappeared off the MSU campus.
He was last seen walking all alone out of Yakeley Hall, and he was wearing Converse sneakers, a Red Wing baseball hat, a black shirt, and grey sweatpants.
He also had with him a dark brown wallet and a distinctive gold cross necklace (pictured below).
It’s now been 54 days since Brendan went missing, and there’s simply no sign of him anywhere.
“The last confirmed location of Brendan’s phone was on Beal St. not far from Yakeley,” Brendan’s loved ones wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to finding him.
“Police were able to confirm his battery drained down to 0%. It was not deliberately shut off. It is a dark color iPhone 11 with a dark or clear case with no screen protector. Brendan drove his vehicle to MSU, parked it and it never moved. Brendan was not carrying his keys to his vehicle and his parents were able to take his vehicle home.”
“Brendan was carrying keys to his friend’s vehicle. They are in his back pocket. The picture on the page is the spare set. The friend’s vehicle was parked at Emmons Hall Friday and had not moved until it was towed to the dealership for new keys on Sunday.”

“The boys checked the vehicle throughout the day on Saturday assuming Brendan went to sleep in the vehicle. When it became clear he had not returned they contacted the MSU campus police. The police did search the vehicle.”

Brendan’s bank and credit cards have not been used since he vanished, and his family thinks something has to have gone terribly wrong because he wouldn’t have disappeared on his own.
A task force has recently been searching the bridge located over by Beal Street, as well as the Brody neighborhood, but there is still no sign of him.

Brendan’s family is asking that if you happened to have been near the area Brendan disappeared from on October 29th, that you check the photos on your phone to see if you might have captured him on camera.
3 days ago, 18 volunteer paddlers searched the Red Cedar River in kayaks and canoes, hoping to find a sign of Brendan somewhere along the river or its banks.
Unfortunately, after covering a wide area that spanned from Beal St. in East Lansing up to 515 River St. Launch, none of the volunteers were able to find any signs of Brendan.
If you see Brendan or have any information related to his disappearance, you can call the MSU Police Department at 844.996.7873 or email them at [email protected].
